The Astorlan was yesterday in receipt
or that very handsome publication, "Val

the printer's art, and contains much val
uable and Interesting reading matter. 1 he
June edition of the "Monthly Bulletin,"
issued by the same company, devoted to
the Interests of the West, was also re
ceived. Sheriff Hare tells a thrilling story of
his experience, with a number of other
gentlemen, on a trip to Clatsop yester
day. Mr. Hare was called upon to make
sale of the machinery and plant of Wade
Hampton Smith's brick yard, under fore
closure ot mortgage held by about a
dozen of Astoria's prominent business
men. The party arrived on the ground
safely, after passage on a launch, and
the' sale was made, the property and
plant being struck off to the Astoria gen
tlemen for 1200.00. After the conclusion
of the business the party embarked for
their return trip. When about half way
back the machinery of the "vaseline"
launch gave out and the passengers and
crew were left in mid-ocean (slough)
without means of locomatlon. The com
bined efforts of the party managed to
get the boat to a mud bank. It was then
decided to draw lots to see who should
make a pilgrimage for help. The choice
fell on J. N. Laws, who rolled up his
pants and filed across the tide lands in
search of a stray steamer. He finally
found a small steamer on which he re
turned, after an absence of three hours,
for his shipwrecked companions, consid
erably the worse for his encounter with
the mud and long grass of the flats.
Charlie Wright remarked that It was
equal to a sure-enough shipwreck.
A prominent traveler when asked what
in his opinion made the Bailey Gatzert
such a popular palace of river transpor
tation, replied that he thought more
than anything, the affable manner and
never-falling courtesy of its officials,
from General Manager Seeley down to
the deck hands, was what caught the
people. Captain Crang Is never too rush
ed to make a landing at some way sta
tion to pick up a passenger, take on a
salmon or to put ashore the woman- with
the baby. Pilot Lsrklns Is always ready
to help out at a game of whist, or If on
duty, to explain navigation in the pilot
house. Purser Donahoe and his assist
ants never leave a package behind or
neglect to attend to an errand in the
city for down river patrons. Chief Evans
delights in showing the women and chil
dren the workings of his monster en
gines and beautiful electric dynamo;
Vhlle Al. McGlllIs, the minister to inter
nal wants, likes to be waked up at mid
night to supply some night owl with a
smoke or something better. In othtr
words, the gentleman explained, people
are much the same the world ovtr
among all nations kindness and common
courtesy meetiull appreciation, and the
travelling mJ(, naturally seeks that
route of travel by rail or steamer where
he Is sure to meet with such treatment.
R. B. Wilson, the railraod man of
Portland, who brought his friend W. H.
Searles, of Minneapolis, agent of the
"Soo" Line, to see the sights of the
Columbia, tells a good story of their ex
perience on a visit to Ilwaco and North
Beach yesterday. After taking in Il
waco, and having gone to the end of the
railroad and enjoyed the scenes on the
beach, they assayed to return to the
city. The Journey by rail was com.
menced, and Mr. Wilson, absorbed In a
paper (the Astorlan) was oblivious to all
about him. He was startled from his
preoccupation by a feminine scream, and
as scenes of hold-ups and burglaries
flashed through his mind he hastened to
the rescue of the fair damsels. He soon
learned that the ladles had been fright
ened by loud and unearthly noises In
their vicinity which to their minds fore
boded evil.- Bob soon discovered his
friend Searles asleep, curled up In a
seat, snoring like a locomotive puffs up
hill. He gravely called to the ladles to
quiet their fears, saying, "he Is my
friend, and that is the way he sleeps."
The A. F. C. at their meeting last
night elected eighteen new members and
also commenced practice among them
selves in whist In order to be prepared
to meet the whist team of the Irving
Club on the 2ith in a whist contest. A
lively game is expected.
HAMMOND COMING.
Some Kickers Still Trying to Block the
Game.
Yesterday Dr. Kinney, chairman of the
subsidy committee, received a telegram
from Mr. Hammond dated in- New York,
in whirh that gentelman stated that he
would leave New York Thursday, (to
n orrow) and would arrive in Astoria
about the 11th. He further stated that
he expected ail matters to be fixed up
before his arrival so that he could go
ahead with the work without further de
lay. From the tenor of the telegram it
woul seem that Mr. Hammond does not
want to be further troubled In the mat
ter. It behooves all parties Interested
therefore to lose no time In getting all
things In ship shape. There are still a
number of outside right ot way deeds
lacking, besides the very few in the
city that have been refused. Among the
former Is the deed that should be given
by the Shavers for a strip of land across
few acrea of tide land which is not
worth $100, according to reliable repoits,
yet these people are running a steamer
between Portland and Astoria and ask
ing for the patronage of Astoria mer
chants and the traveling public. The
people should at once refuse to ship
their freight by such a line, or travel
on Its boat, the Sarah Dixon, until the
owners do what Is right in the right of
way matter, which will surely benefit
them as much as anyone, as a railroad
would so enhance their lands that they
could find a market for their now unprof
itable property. From the remarks of
several merchants yesterday such a
course will be pursued. There are boats
on the river, operated by people who are
heart and soul In sympathy with the
railroad and who have spent thousands
of dollars in Ita interest.
Astoria has no room, said a prominent
merchant yesterday, for such miserably
narrow-minded dogs-ln-the-manger. and
will take steps to get rldt of them.

THE OTHF.R MAN CAPTURED.
The redoubtable Captain Ed Hallock
returned yesterday from Portland, hav
ing in custody Jas. Enger, alias Johnson,
one of the men who recently robbed El
more, Sanborn & Co's warehouse of a lot
of net twine, and made his escape by
Jumping Into the water. Captain Hallock
took no chances of another escape over
board, bdt kept his man handcuffed all
the way down on the Gatzert. The Port
land Telegram of Monday gives Detectiva
Day of Portland great credit for the
clever capture of the man. It develops,
however, that the capture is due en
tirely to the accurate description
the man telegraphed by Chief Loughery
to Chief Minto of Portland and the
chance remark of a man on the street
corner. It is stated that Detective Day
was standing on a street corner in Port
land talking to a Seattle man when
Johnson came walking by. Day did not
recognize his man, even from the descrip
i tlon in his pocket, but his companion re-
marked, "there goes a man I had a fight
with once in Joe Turk's sailor boarding
house In Seattle." Now It happehed that
Chief Loughery Incidentally mentioned'
In his description of the party that he
had been In the employ of Joe Turk. Day
put on steam, took his man in and tele
graphed Chief Loughery about fifteen
minutes before the boat left Astoria
Monday evening. Captain Hallock
caught the boat, however, and now has
the man In safe quarters. It Is believed
by the authorities that this capture will
break up a dangerous gang and great
credit Is due to the officials for their
prompt action, which prevented the man's
escape to distant parts.

AMONG THE CHURCHES.
Practical Sermons From Astoria Minis
ters. CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
Consecration was the theme at tihe Con
gregational church Sabbath morning. The
following Is a synopsis of the sermon:
Consecration is an Old Testament word,
but the Idea which the word expresses is
in every book In the Bible. It Is tha
recognition of God's ownership and con
sists in withdrawal from the world and
presentation to God. With this mean,
lng In mind note its important features.
(1.) Consecration to be real must be
complete. There is no mere border land
to the Christian's country. You must be
one thing or the other.- Says Christ:
"He that is not with me is against me."
And Paul says: "What fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness?
Wherefore come ye out from among them
and be ye separate." Religion and the
church suffer tenfold more from tha
lukewarmnese and half-heartedness ot
their professed friends than from all the
sssaults of open enemies. All the out
lay ot brains and money which the ene.
mles of Christianity make would avail
little against its progress if all Its pro
fessed friends were consistent and de
voted. (2.) Again, consecration 10 b real
must find expression. It waa a favorite
maxim of Christ that, "To him that hath
rhall be given, and from him that hath
not shall be taken away, even that
which he hath." The meaning is that
neglected or abused talents will be short
ened more and more and at last will be
taken away.
(3.) Consecration when real s a power.
It puts the human souL in touch with
God and the human is then endowed with
something of the majesty 4nd power of
the divine. Here were given lllustra.
tlona of successful soul-winning.
(1.) Consecration: How: obtained T Too
read nowhere In Scripture that consecra
tion is a gift. Other graces, -as faith.
Justification and regeneration are gifts;
but consecration Is not a gift. This

"Who is willing to oonsecrate his ser
vice this day unto the Lord?"
FIRST M. E. CHURCH.
From the text "If we be beside our
selves It is for God," the pastor, the Rev.
Mr. Bushong, preached a forcible ser
mon, In which It was- shown that the
disciples and Christians through all ages
have been called, "crazy," fanatics,' etc.,
because of then- earnestness and en
thusiasm. Were the apostles to come, to
Astoria today and say and do the things
which they did when on earth , they
would be counted as crazy. All the great
events of the world were accomplished
under intense excitement by men who
were In earnest It takes that kind of a
man to move the wond. Paul in at
tempting to arouse and encourage others
to a Christian! life was criticized as a
man beside himself. Moody And Sankey,
Sam Jones and other modern evangelists
have been likewise criticized, but when
we see the awful danger of the human
souls about us we must needs be in
earnest and use extraordinary means
in times of revivals to draw men from
sin. Where are the boys tonight? Not
in the churches not in the homes, if
the apostle were here he would be moved
to intense excitement to save (them.
It is not manly to stand oil and find
fault with the way other people do things
until you can do better yourself. I would
rather make one hundred mistakes In try
ing to help others than to be so scrupu
lously correct and do nothing. You can
talk about your quiet revivals, but all
of the real progress has been made on
tne basis of Pentecost. Let him criticize
God's plan who dares. History shows
that all of the great movements in the
church -were accomplished by wild ex
citement. The dark ages of the" world were those
in which there were no religious revivals
and the world went backwards, but
Luther and Wesley turned the world over
amid scenes of trial and excitement and
each stage of progress since has been
marked by Just such scenes.
An attentive congregation followed the
speaker with interest throughout the dis
course. GRACE CHURCH.
Sunday was Whit-Sunday and Grace
church was beautifully decorated with
choice flowers, In keeping with the day
and occasion. The choir rendered in an
exceptionally fine manner the ever grand
Te Deum and the large congregation paid
strict attention to the rector's discourse
partly historical In commemoration ot
the ninth anniversary of the consecration
of the present church edlilce.
The discourse was on the passage, "To
what purpose is this waste'" from
Matthew 26-8. How many are ready to
advise, criticize and find fault, how few
to do. A beautiful lesson was drawn
from the touching scene at the supper,
where Martha served and where in th
excess of Joy of worship for the dlvina
friend who hod done so much for that
family the beloved brother raised from
the dead the sister poured out the box
of costly ointment over the head of the
Master so that the whole place was
filled with the odor. The traitor disciple
asks "why this waste," why was it not
sold and the proceeds given to the
poor? Not so the Master who accepted
the gift In the- spirit in -which it was
given. As all our best gifts are from
Him It is meet and right that our offer
lngs to Him and his church should b
the best we have. In all cases where
God does teach man how to worship Him
He teaches him to use the costliest and
richest gifts.
Why make our places of worEtilp in
ferior to our own abodes? The surround
ings of the worshipper are the expres
sions of the regard In which man holds
Him whom he worships, and all that is
beautiful, all that has worth and value
is not too good for the dwelling of the
Most High.
The sermon contained many interest
ing historic facts and at the close of the
service a collection' was taken to apply
on the church debt.
This being Whltsun week there will be
services during the week, Wednesdiy,
Friday and Saturday being ember days,
and next Sunday Trinity Sunday.
CRANES IN UNION COUNTY.
Baker City Democrat.
Cranes are so numerous In Union
county that there are not enough men,
women and children to keep them oft
the grain fields and gardens. la mans
places they have destroyed larse or
chards and groves, eating dlt the leaves
and limbs, leaving only the trunks ot
the trees standing. Part of the da
these birds swarm to the stTeams lilt
countless herds of cattle and eo great U
their number that they often drink tht
streams entirely dry, thus threitenlnp
the country with iu general drouth.
What seems the strangest part of the
matter is that the skins of the cranes are
so tough that they cannot be penetrated
by a ball from a 44-calibre rifle. The
cranes have practically taken the coun
try and the people are now neelng lor
their lives. And geographers hove al
ready changed the name from Union to
Crane county.
THE TRUE IDEA OF PROTECTION.
Valley Transcript.
Our Louisville correspondent hits the
nail squarely on the head when he says.
"If we would protect our manufacturers,
make our goods here at home Instead ot
Old England, then we would have peo
ple to eat up our butter and ct;gs." That's
the idea exactly, and the sooner our peo
ple grasp the meaning of these words, In
their broadest sense, the better it will
be for the country.
